Might be interesting to add such a thing to PHP as a PEAR extension maybe, but you could use a separate program for that, and just execute it from PHP. Another possibility is to use my LDAP back-end for BIND rather than dynamic updates. The effect is mostly the same. BIND will look up the data in LDAP every time (lose some performance, normally not a problem), and you can modify the data at any time from for instance PHP by accessing the LDAP server. If anyone wants to look at the LDAP back-end, see http://www/dns/bind/bind-sdb/. If you look at it, please look at version .4 and the dnsZone. Versions prior to .4 shouldn't be used any more, I'll change the web page shortly. Stig
